The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test |
Book
The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test is a work of literary journalism by Tom Wolfe, published in 1968. Using techniques from the genre of hysterical realism and pioneering new journalism, the onfiction novel tells the story of Ken Kesey and his band of Merry Pranksters. The book follows the Pranksters across the country driving in a psychedelic painted school bus dubbed Further (called Furthur in the book due to an initial misspelling on the bus placard), reaching what they considered to be personal and collective revelations through the use of LSD and other psychedelic drugs. The book also describes the Acid Tests, early performances by The Grateful Dead, and Keseys exile to Mexico.In 1968, Eliot Fremont-Smith of The New York Times called The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test ot simply the best book on hippies… the essential book.Film adaptationA film adaptation of the book is in development.
